Sophie Rundle has given birth to her second child, announcing on Sunday that she and husband Matt Stokoe have welcomed a baby boy.
The Peaky Blinders star shared a series of photos with her newborn as she gushed that she was ‘riding this heavenly wave of perfect love’.
‘He’s here. I am fully ready and expecting to nosedive off the hormonal cliff edge at any moment but for now I am riding this heavenly wave of perfect love,’ she told her followers.
‘I only want to stay in this bed, tending to my exhausted happy bones, sniffing his delicious head and grandly announcing that he is wearing an archival look from the 2021 collection everytime I put him in one of his brother’s old baby grows.’

‘He’s here. I am fully ready and expecting to nosedive off the hormonal cliff edge at any moment but for now I am riding this heavenly wave of perfect love,’ she told her followers
‘(I am perhaps a tad delirious at this point.) Oh wow, the love the love the love.’
She added a ‘special thanks to the incredible team at @stroudmaternity for bringing him here so safely and happily and for looking after us so expertly, we are so grateful.’
The actress, 35, previously confirmed she was expecting her second child during an appearance on The One Show in January, before sharing photos of her bump in April.
She captioned the April Instagram snap: ‘Firmly in my Mama Cass trimester’ as fans rushed to congratulate the star.
Meanwhile, Sophie also took to her Instagram Story as she wrote: ‘big ol’ baby number two incoming. Ain’t that a nice thing’.
The expectant mother, who already shares three year old son Henry with her husband, confessed that she had forgotten whether the public knew she was expecting.
She explained: ‘I forget who I have and haven’t told at this point because I’ve been busy trying to remember what a waistband is and stop my three year old using my belly like a trampoline but – big ol’ baby number two incoming. Ain’t that a nice thing’.
Sophie starred as heavily pregnant PC Joanna Marshall in her thriller After The Flood which aired back in January.

She starred alongside her real-life husband, who played PC Marshall’s police officer husband Pat Holman in the show, and it seems the fake and real pregnancy almost overlapped.
During an appearance on The One Show: ‘I am now pregnant in real life. So this is starting to feel like the longest pregnancy any human woman has ever endured.’
Sophie revealed that wearing the fake bump nearly put her off having another child as she added: ‘I wasn’t pregnant then, had a big fake bump and I think I was sort of put off when I had the fake bump then enough time had passed and now I’m going in for more.’

Sophie opened up about her pregnancy cravings as she confessed she has been indulging in pizza hot sauce during her second pregnancy.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Finally shoutout to @tubbytoms who, when I asked him for more pizza hot sauce, absolutely understood the needs of a heavily pregnant woman and sent me these GEMS. A hero and an artist’.
Sophie found fame as PC Kirsten McAskill in Happy Valley but met an extremely gruesome end at the hands of psychopath Tommy Lee Royce.
She then went on to play Ada Shelby in BBC hit series Peaky Blinders and returned to film the final series just four weeks after giving birth to her first child Henry.
Sophie admitted at the time: ‘It was very intense and absolutely mental. But it was the final season and it felt very important to finish it.’
She said that motherhood has made her tougher, adding: ‘I’m not intimidated by an older man in a position of power, because I’m a mum to this little boy. I much prefer who I am now.’
